Whoopi Goldberg was missing from The View again, and we didn’t know why. Now, we know. She was called into jury duty.
Could you imagine seeing her in the jury pool of candidates? Teach them a lesson for calling her.
Besides telling the audience why she was absent, she also went off on a rant about it. Goldberg doesn’t believe that jurors are paid enough. She says that $40 is not enough for people to give up a day of work, and they should raise it to be at least $100.
I don’t normally agree with her. But on this, she is 100% correct.
Lea Michele is starring in her dream role on Broadway, so you think she would want to play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl forever. But she doesn’t.
That is because the musical announced today, “Hey, gorgeous! We’re having so much fun with you on Broadway, we’re sticking around until September 3rd! Get your tickets now. #FUNNYGIRL”
I am surprised that with the record-breaking box office, they are letting the curtain go down. But I guess nothing lasts forever.
Unless Michele signed on to do a movie version of the show. Will Barbra Streisand let her do that? I am sure that is something Babs would allow only over her dead body.
Milo Ventimiglia has played a bad boy and the perfect father on TV, but he was contemplating doing a different role in real life.
Believe it or not. The actor considered running for Mayor of Los Angeles.
What? He has been trying to build a house for himself and his parents, but the bureaucracy to get it done in LA is a nightmare. So he told Jess Cagle, on his SiriusXM radio show, that he was considering being LA’s top politician to make it easier for people to renovate or build their homes.
But then he thought about how much time he would have to devote to the job, and that would mean he would have to give up his day job. And he is not ready to do that.
That, and he says he is not a politician. But he will help people in other ways. Like he has been trying to help those we lost in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, get a war memorial in DC.
So when he is ready to run for mayor, he will have my vote.
Before Bryan Cranston was a drug dealer on Breaking Bad, he was a reporter on One Life to Live. He looks the same now as he did when he was 29 in that 1985 episode.
